Thanks for sharing this; Microsoft certainly didn’t try too hard to make stuff easy for admins. A lot of stuff now is trial and error, especially compared with how stuff worked before. Adm was simple to use, and central policies were propagated by default.

In reply to Tony. Yeah, I doubt the drop-down list would handle an array of that size and I doubt I could type fast enough to create the list before I died of old age. Webster

Great article! I was bored so I did the calculations and this is what I came up with.

27 + 26^2 + 25^3 + 24^4 + 23^5 + 22^6 + 21^7 + 20^8 + 19^9 + 18^10 + 17^11 + 16^12 + 15^13 + 14^14 + 13^15 + 12^16 + 11^17 + 10^18 + 9^19 + 8^20 + 7^21 + 6^22 + 5^23 + 4^24 + 3^25 + 2^26 = 4,961,039,091,344,431,215

Or just under 5 quintillion.

Funny – I always use Group Policy Preferences to hide the drives but this would be cool to restrict them completely.
